Default 997.1 GT3/GT3RS Bling

I just received the most recent issue of Christophorus (Porsche's in-house magazine) in the mail (Aug/Sept 2009). Pictured in the magazine are some new Porsche Tequipment accessories for the 997.1 GT3 and GT3RS -- in particular, carbon fiber bits: side mirrors, front air outlets, air collector intakes and rear spoiler lip. Also pictured are 19-inch center lock wheels (titanium-colored) with red anodized locks, as well as titanium double tailpipes. No part numbers given.

Unfortunately, I think the subscription (free with the purchase of a new car) does run out (after one year) -- $30/year to renew.

You can find it under the Tequipment section.

Looking at the site, they are saying that the center lock wheels are only available for the new GT3 and the upcoming new GT3RS. I don't get it: these cars come with the center lock wheels as standard, so why advertise them as Tequipment?

Does anybody have any info of these wheels being made available on the 997.1 GT3?

There is a retrofit kit for the 997.1 (specifically for the Turbo, IIRC) but it's not the same as the 997.2 factory device.

I got my car used (05 997S cab), and got issues sent to me until the warranty ran out... about 2 years worth.
